Brand New Replacement Ipod Touch

This is really basic. I think I know the answer anyway, but I thought I'd ask just to check. I got a brand new replacement 4th gen ipod touch today. I just brought it home and haven't done anything to it yet. This is actually my 3rd replacement. The previous one I had received from the Apple store came inside the plastic casing the same as if you were to purchase it. The one I received today still had that thin plastic peel protector around it but I just wasn't given the case it would go in. They just gave me a brand new ipod like that. My previous ipod was last backed up a few days ago in my itunes. With this new one, would I have to synch it just like a new one or would there be anyway to transfer anything that had been backed up? As I said, this is really basic but I'm not very familiar with Apple products. I just know how to use an ipod.
Also, a seperate question but since it's been a while since I last had a brand new ipod, should I be leaving it to charge or something before using it or... What exactly should I do?

- Follow these instructions:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
- I doubt it is new. You will only get a new one if they do not have any refurbished one available. The refurbished ones include a new back and new battery. If new it will come in a brown box, not like a retail new one.
- Just charge untill it is fully charged and then use it.

  • My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

    I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

    yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

  • My Brand New Refurbished Ipod Touch is not working

    I just bought a brand new refurbished Ipod touch 32GB (current generation), after a week it shows flickering white screens. I seldom used it for the whole week. When I went to apple service centre they told me that the water leak indicator turns into purple colour supposedly white. I ask them, how this thing can happen, because honestly I was always keep it safe and never been contact to any liquid or soak into water. Then I went to another service centre to get second thought – same feedback was given to me. The warranty was void because of the water leak indicator turns into purple colour.
    Anyone can help me to resolve my case? Honestly, I seldom used my Ipod touch, never been contact with water and it was always safely kept. Maybe there is some problem down the factory line, why it was refurbished? What is the history of this iPod touch? Maybe from there, something can help me that can prove that is the original problem of this iPod touch.

    i also got a refurb Touch. luckily, mine works as expected.
    a refurb enjoys the same warranty as a new one. take yours to an Apple store near you and have it replaced.

  • I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data right out of the box.

    I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data before I've even put anything on it.I appreciate the OS takes up about 1.5gb, but this is in addition to that. There is absolutely nothing on the iPod and I've already done a factory reset.
    The amount of yellow "other" data seems to go up and down if I click sync (although it is not syncing anything). There is no other data on the device. Is this normal?

    That is about right.  Normally it is about 1/2 GB.  If can grow because of corrupt files.  Then it is necessary to restore the iPod sometimes from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.  The other is made of ite items that do not fit the other categories listed.

  • Brand New White iPod Touch Sound Distortion

    As title. I've literally just received my new iPod Touch, synced it fine and when I play any song, there is dreadful distortion. It's definitely not the Headphones as I've just tested on both my Classic and iPhone to which the same song sound fine.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    It's a fault, and cant be anything to do with the colour.

  • My replacement ipod touch keeps freezing

    I just got a new replacement ipod touch 2 weeks ago . It freezes every few sec but weird thing is that i think it is just the keyboard because it responds to the home button. This happens with like every app that needs a keyboard. Another weird thing is that this problem goes away and then comes back. And i lose wifi when this happens too. And it wouldnt let me put my ipod to shut down. Until i reset but the problem happened again. Right now it is gone cause i exited out of the app and restarted but it happens again later. This happens on safari too! If this replacement is another defect what do i do? :( I found out this problem when it wouldnt let me message my friends on facebook and i thought it was just the app but it started happening on safari too!

    There are some major problems with this ipod. I know everyone says this, but restoring from a backup might help.
    You could also make an appointment with a Genious at an apple store, if you live near one. They might be able to fix this better than someone on the forums. These appointments are free!!

  • Malfunctioning replacement iPod Touch 5 from Apple.

    I'm hoping I can get some advice. My 32 GB iPod Touch 5 that I had was having problems running apps (more than normal), so I went to The Apple Store at a mall. The person at the Genius Bar was able to replace it, and assured me it was a new, working device. So I had that set up, received my replacement iPod Touch 5, and was on my way home. I bought a screen protector, had it applied, and tried setting up my "new" iPod Touch 5. I went to the search tab in the App Store, and wasn't able to view all the apps that I searched for, due to the reason that for some odd reason, according to Apple, my device was malfunctioning. I did the reset, restore, etc. and nothing fixed it. I've had this replacement for 2 days now, and I'm in warranty. But that doesn't change the fact that now I would have to wait 1 week or so, to have a working device. My problem:
    1. The Apple Store in the mall is an hour away, and I don't drive. Nor can I get a ride from a friend/family member.
    2. If I sent it in, I don't believe they would replace my screen protector I JUST had applied yesterday. (I didn't test out the device, because I was under the impression from the Apple "Genius" that it worked perfectly.)
    Either way, either of these options will cost more than I should have to pay, (Gas=$$$ and sending in=-$20.)
    I don't think it would be too much to ask for some kind of compensation out of this deal, when I got back a product faulty from the beginning, but I'm not sure. What should I do?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Be nice but firm. Ask for some compensation but do not go overboard.

  • What's The Best Way to Load a Replacement iPod Touch?

    I just received a replacement iPod Touch 3G for my daughter. Her iTunes library for the Touch that we returned to Apple is on her MacBook Pro. What is the best way to load the new Touch? She plans on using the same name for it. Should I restore from a previous backup or just plug it in and let in sync? Do I need to set anything on iTunes for disk management?
    Thank you,
    Bruce

    If she wants it like her old one the previous backup, if there is anything she wants to change though, now would be a perfect time to just resync it and start over. It really depends on what she wants.

  • How Do I Restore A Replacement iPod Touch With the Backup From A Previous iPod Touch?

    I recently received a replacement iPod Touch because of hardware issues with my previous one. I managed to back up my last iPod Touch with iCloud, I also recall using iCloud to restore it from backup after I first updated to iOS 5. All I'm looking to do is to restore everything exactly as it was (app data etc) on my last iPod before I had it replaced. Yet, when I attempt to restore it from back up, it restores with the wrong back up.

    See if the lnk given here helps:

  • Replaced iPod touch question

    I had to get a replacement iPod touch as mine was defective. My question is, when I plug the new touch into iTunes for the first time, how will iTunes know that I purchased the upgrade and an app? I assume iTunes looks for the iPod via a serial number, not a name. I am concerned that when I sync, iTunes will assume it's a new iPod (which it is) and I will have to buy the upgrade all over again.

    Slide up from the bottom of your display to access the control panel.
    Look for the button (should be at the top) that shows a crescent moon.
    Tap that button. It should say "Do not Disturb: Off".
    Then try it out and let us know if it worked.
